[4/30] Code of Conduct Discussion

Posted 7 years, 11 days ago (Edited 6 years, 9 months ago) by admin

[4/30] We have updated the Code of Conduct to reflect the new rules as discussed on this thread.

We'll be leaving this thread up to take further suggestions and feedback on the rules in the future, as well as for keeping track of our history of changes to the COC, so please let us know either via this thread, or via the ticket desk or PM if you have any thoughts or concerns. 

[4/30] Major changes:

  • We will now be enforcing behavioural conduct rules: this includes locking and deleting threads or characters which are overly hostile or aggressive.
  • NSFW artwork containing characters which are described as under 18 or described as appearing under 18 (or the equivalent age of adulthood in non-human species) are now prohibited. Note that this includes gratuitous violence towards minors which is presented as sexual or fetishised.
  • NSFW now has been separated into different content filter categories - please read up and let us know if you have any suggestions for further categorisation. 
  • We may add content warnings to characters or forum posts that contain sensitive or offensive content, please don't remove these unless you also revise the content.
  • Accounts which contain nothing but, or a large ratio of parody or satire characters will have their Listing privileges revoked. Hateful or insulting satire is now strictly prohibited.
  • Public blacklisting is now explicitly allowed, albeit with restrictions on tone.
  • Report trolling/baiting is now disallowed.
  • Some information was added on how to properly report a scam - unfortunately a large quantity of tickets we can't do anything with currently because we lack sufficient evidence to take action.

Users will not incur retroactive warnings or account sanctions for any changes made to the Code of Conduct, but we will be going through and removing any old content that violates the new rules.

Sounds fair to me. :3

Edit: Also!! Thanks for fixing the issue with the update-image/filter boxes on the image manager. :D

I like these revisions! Especially the sensitive content filter and the relaxing of nipple censoring, lol. Sounds very reasonable and allows more options to censor without taking too much freedom away.

I'd like to say, I actually like the mild nudity filter because I have plenty of pieces that show quite a bit of skin but that are so conveniently placed that nothing really is visible, like a character sitting naked in an enticing pose or being shown from behind with only the backside exposed and nothing else big. I don't wanna just force it upon my followers eyes without them having to click it open first, but I also feel like putting it behind a nudity filter would be a bit much. Though, I am happy with the relaxation!

There's only one thing that bothers me, and honestly I'm not sure if its even a bug, but I find it kind of annoying that the miniatures of the images with the mild nudity filters are just they toyhou.se logo with 'nude' in orange. I have the settings to "always show", that's why I thought it might be a bug, but if it isn't, then its pretty weird, especially if it's on my own characters!. :(

Having these filters added to the Image Manager is AMAZING but please add a DELETE option to the image manager so we can delete multiple images at once!
for example, i had a shapeshifting character, and i eventually decided to turn one of her shapeshift forms into its own unique character, so i did, but now i have to go through and delete some of her art because its now on the other character, and it takes sooo long one by one XD

I'd still love if we don't have to upload the same pic several timeswhen we want to use itfor several characters.

Also...random thought: how about a general body horror tag? Since gore means bloody, wounds, flesh etc. But there are people who are also sensitive to stuff like trypophobia which i do not count as gore, but as body horror.

eldritchbooky Currently, our ToS states that we can only offer service to users age 13 and above. With the beta site, we'll be adding a mandatory age check for all users (think, like the "confirm your birthday thing" that many sites use) and add the option to mark threads as mature.
